PS - In other news...

I picked up a heap of miscellaneous parts on Saturday from justincase.

I haven't had a chance to go through it all to see what I have but there is a few goodies in there which will be Gus-bound if required.

Theres plenty of other stuff in there too so I will share it around if I see someone in need.

Gus will soon have an engine!

Thanks to JDNSW for offering one to me for a very reasonable price, but one has come up recently in a more accessible location and in known condition.

Hang onto it though mate - I may need it yet... next project is already being scouted out!

(don't tell my mrs!

)

More info when the engine is picked up.

Reading this has given me new hope for 'bob', my '59 GS

I haven't touched him for 6 months, but I reckon I need to get back into it soon.

Cheers

Is bob a GS or a Command Recon?

Yep - get back into it - and show us pics!

Glad you enjoyed the read.

G'day All, IIRC it's a C/R from Glouscester cheers Dennis

Thanks Dennis.

I was up at the Tocal Field Days on Saturday - was going to come via the 'nock and see if you were in but had to get back to Sydney...

On Saturday I went out to Lou (Dullbird) and Ian (Muddymech)s house to pick up Gus' new engine! Mark (longing4alandy) kindly came out to lend a hand too.

The donor car was a Home Market (ie: UK - not AU CKD) wide light 2A shorty which they had obtained to provide some bits and bobs for their 2A Ute.

The Ute has a *very* nice motor in it, so they kindly let me have the engine for little more than a contribution towards the car trailer used to collect the shorty. Thanks guys!

The motor came out quite easily - the hardest part was (predictably) getting the blasted floor panels out! Grinder time...

Once we had it out it was loaded into the trailer and headed home. I was intending to take it up to the farm next weekend, but have had a change of heart and offloaded it at home in the garage instead. I will clean it up and give it a good check over first, and maybe give it a coat of paint before it meets Gus.

Can't do pics from work, unless I work out how to use AULRO galleries... I can't do photobucket from work.
